This & That

CHAU Product Shoot

Chris Chan, Definium Design spent a wonderful day with Maria Huynh, owner of CHAU Veggiexpress and Clinton Hussey, photographer of www.clintonhussey.com. The one still took a fair amount of care and preparation with food stylist and consultant, Murray Bancroft (photo above) and took notice of Clinton Hussey tweaking the lighting to ‘just right’. Great people to work with!

The product shoot is for a new installation at the CHAU Veggiexpress on Victoria Drive and we’ll be adding in our Definium touch to make the photography work within the CHAU space. Stay tuned!


Budget Rent-A-Car BC

We are pleased to announce the latest addition to our list of clients, Budget Rent-A-Car BC. Budget Rent-A-Car BC is the official operator of the national Budget brand in British Columbia and Yukon, Canada. With over 80 locations in B.C. and a fleet size of approximately 7000 vehicles, it was exciting to apply our design methodology to a brand of this size and that’s well over 50 years old. Our recent project with them includes a new website and a visual language unique to Budget serving British Columbia.

The idea behind the website was the merger of a leisure experience and the allure of the cars & trucks themselves. The primary navigation plays off the body styling of car, with its shine, dimples and grooves. Adding to the personality of the site, the typeface we’ve selected gives off a modernized easy-going vibe. To stage each vehicle, we used a mix and match strategy that creates a playful semi-reality composition. Overall, the design is comprised of simple shapes and subtle gradations, staying consistent with the iconic Budget logo.
